During this week’s Takeover media call Triple H was asked about the status of former NFL punter turned wrestler Pat McAfee, who worked a feud against Adam Cole and the Undisputed Era at Takeover XXX and WarGames. The Game would respond by claiming McAfee was busy with other projects, and that the company was not trying to limit his appearances.
On the latest episode of his Pat McAfee Show the former Indianapolis Colt commented on Triple H’s statement, adding that he also needs to get back into better shape if he were to return.
I was talked about in the wrestling community yesterday by Triple H, actually, about my future plans. It was interesting. […] I mean, all very nice things he said there but me learning about being written off TV did happen live on the air. He’s a very nice man, Mr. H, for everything he said. He did say, basically, like, ‘Pat has been very busy. Kind of a fatass right now. He’s going to have to get back into shape,’ basically is what he said. And then maybe we’ll think about something.
Later McAfee would address the rumors of him returning to the yellow-and-black brand sometime soon, claiming he has not heard anything about that.
I’ve not heard anything, by the way. […] Have not heard anything. No ideas. But I do believe the first step would be to have the diet match the amount of conditioning I’ve been doing in the Oculus. And when that happens, look out.
